Lavender Cookies

October 20, 2020 ~ jarmilascooking ~ Leave a comment

I have always associated lavender with the Provence region in France. The iconic photos showing drifts of purple flowers were something I could only see in display windows of chic perfumeries or on labels of expensive cosmetic creams.

However controversial this ingredient can be in some parts of the world, poppy seeds are indispensable in Slovak cuisine. Like our much bigger European neighbours, we use poppy seeds in some of our vintage recipes for sweet breads, cakes and various little bakes. I remember quite vividly the summers at my grandparents' house in the … Continue reading Ground Poppy Seed Rolls

Cookbooks

A Taste of Slovakia series is much more than a collection of traditional Slovak recipes. It's a colourful journey into this small country's culture, the customs that revolve around cooking and eating, as well as history of some typical ingredients.
